I need to get this off my chest, overly long post incoming:
This election has far too many young people speaking of hopelessness, some going so far as to make suicidal statements. Especially within the LGBT realm. And quite frankly, it's extremely messed up and we need to have a serious reckoning with a certain sect of online activists (and tv personalities) who are pushing upon younger generations a never ending barrage of doom & gloom. Human history has always been rocky, it's full of ups & downs, & no one can say for certain what the future will bring, but if you're always touting that each election will bring death and destruction, you are part of the problem. You're tainting impressionable minds and becoming no different than what you claim to hate. So with all sincerity, if you're one of those activists, please fuck off. Fuck all the way off. You are toxic. Young people shouldn't be talking suicide over an election. And they're only doing so because of you. That's not to say things are great, no matter who won tonight the country will face some difficulties going forward, but you can say that after every election. So calm the fuck down. If you want meaningful change - and this applies to people on all sides - teach young people hope.
Anyways, getting off my soapbox now, I just don't like seeing young people speaking of suicide after being swindled by overly emotional agitators.
